Meet our first duoday recruits

The 7th edition of Duoday took place on 17 November 2022. As a reminder, the principle is simple:

On Duoday, a company, a community or an association welcomes a person with a disability, to work shadow a volunteering professional. This day represents an opportunity to meet and change our way of looking at things and, together, to overcome our prejudices.

For the occasion, two people were welcomed in our Lille offices: Astrid and Mélusine.

Today we are going to meet Astrid who spent the day with the team of Daniel Ross, IT & Tech Director.

HELLO ASTRID, CAN YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF?

I am a graduate and am doing an HR degree whilst working doing a professional reconversion in the digital sector.

HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT DUODAY?

I heard about it on Facebook, through someone who shared the information on her profile.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE 52 ENTERTAINMENT?

I applied to several companies, but I was very interested in 52 Entertainment because I’m interested in the gaming industry. I also did some research on the internet before coming, you emphasise the importance of employee well-being and that’s really what I’m looking for.

WHAT WERE YOUR EXPECTATIONS THIS MORNING BEFORE YOU ARRIVED?

I didn’t have any particular expectations, I wanted to see what the job of a web developer and designer was like.

WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT THE DAY?

I liked being immersed in the company and I liked many things like the different languages (WordPress, JavaScript …) I liked to see the technical side of web development with Laeticia who uses JavaScript with Virtual Regatta for example, the physical manipulation of the computer (hard disk, etc.) with Fred and Kevin.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE?

I would like to find an atypical company and continue in the path of web development or UX/UI design, I still have a bit of time to decide!

A big thank you to Astrid and Mélusine for this valuable day of sharing and discovery, we hope to see you again sometime soon! :salut_main:
